…to identify lung nodules using the SARRPs on-board, high resolution, cone beam CT capabilities. This allowed them to target peripheral lung nodules using Muriplan software while avoiding off-target nodules in…
Purpose To implement clinical stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using a small animal radiation research platform (SARRP) in a genetically engineered mouse model of lung cancer. Methods and Materials A…
Modern pre-clinical radiation therapy (RT) research requires high precision and accurate dosimetry to facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice. Several systems are available that provide precise delivery…
…the efficacy of treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that an improved immune environment in the tumor at the time of…
…research platform. In each case, a dual arc plan was used to deliver 12 Gy to the target in a single fraction. One animal from each cohort was euthanized on…
…with the Xstrahl SARRP. The BLT images are fused with onboard CBCT images for targeting. Validation of the targeting accuracy was completed in phantoms and in vivo. The CBCT/BLT targeting…
…300 kV (0–0.4 cm) and 450 kV (0–0.8 cm) X-ray beams were much shorter than that for the 6 MV X-ray beam (1.6 cm), which may result in weaker skin…
…deliver a specific dose to the target will take longer than a broad focal spot, but the beam quality will be better. It is important to choose the electron beam…
…involved remain to be elucidated. More recent findings, however, indicate the involvement of radiation-sensitive targets like mitotic fibroblasts/myofibroblasts as well as inflammatory cells. Radiation-related molecular mechanisms affecting these target cells…
…days since I live so close by the office. It was such an easy process of simply seeing your dermatologist. They usually did treatments twice a week which could simply…
